Kim Seung-won Denies COVID-19 Treatment Lobbying Allegations, Citing Public Interest Grievance Kim Seung-won, the nominee for Minister of Justice, countered allegations today regarding his suspected involvement in lobbying for a COVID-19 treatment, stating, "It was not illegal lobbying, but a simple forwarding of a public interest grievance explicitly permitted under the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act for lawmakers." Kim's confirmation hearing preparation team stated through a media announcement today, "This was a request made during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that the clinical trial procedures for a domestic small and medium-sized enterprise were not unfairly delayed." The preparation team added, "We did not demand treatment approval, priority review, relaxed standards, or procedural exemptions," and noted, "Even prosecutors did not conclude that the act of forwarding a grievance itself was unlawful." The preparation team explained that prosecutors judged it difficult to view the request—solely asking for expedited processing of the clinical trial plan approval considering the pandemic situation at the time—as illegal lobbying.
